Job Details

The hydroclimate research group at Auburn University is looking for 1-2 fully funded PhD students interested in terrestrial hydroclimate monitoring, predictions, and assessment for water and food systems using data science/machine learning/deep learning and physics-based modeling approaches. The student will have the opportunity to work on one or more of the following topics: 1) subseasonal-to-seasonal predictions of hydroclimate extremes (droughts, heat waves, and extreme precipitation) and impacts, 2) improving long-term observations of evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and precipitation, and 3) finer-scale assessment of climate change impacts on food and water systems. The expected start dates are Spring or Fall semester of 2025. More information about the lab: https://aub.ie/hydroclimate.

Qualifications:  Applicants must have a MS or BS in a science or engineering field at the time the graduate program begins. Deserving candidates should have a strong motivation to study climate-related issues for water and food systems using data science/machine learning/deep learning, physics-based models, and multi-dimensional data, preferably have experience with one computing tool (such as Python, R, or MATLAB), and possess or demonstrate a potential for excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Location: The position will be on the campus of Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama.  

Application: If interested, please send an email to Dr. Di Tian (tiandi@auburn.edu) with a brief statement of interest, CV, unofficial transcripts, and contact information for 3 references. Formal application will be made via Auburn University’s graduate school (https://graduate.auburn.edu/prospective-students/application-instructions/). The students can choose to pursue Crop, Soil, and Environmental Science or Earth System Science Ph.D. program.

Company

Auburn University was established in 1856 as the East Alabama Male College, 20 years after the city of Auburn's founding. In 1872, under the Morrill Act, the school became the first land-grant college in the South and was renamed the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama. In 1899 the name again was changed, to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Finally, in 1960 the name of the school was changed to Auburn University, a title more in keeping with its location, and expressing the varied academic programs and larger curriculum of a major university. Today, Auburn is one of the few universities to carry the torch as a land, sea and space grant university. Our fall 2015 semester enrollment was 27,287. Our students can choose from more than 140 degree options in 13 schools and colleges at the undergraduate, graduate and professional levels. Auburn University has developed into one of the largest universities in the South, remaining in the educational forefront with its traditional blend of arts and applied science, and changing with the needs of today while living with a respect for the traditions and spirit that are Auburn.
